Hello everyone,
This is my first time to this group and was
wondering if anyone has a solution to my problem.
I have a Minolta slr (film slr, autofocus) and am planning to buy a
sony digital slr. Does anyone know if I
will be able to use the old AF minolta lenses with the new sony
digital slr and how will the focal length be
affected ? I have a 70-300 mm lens as well as a 35-70 mm lens (both
minolta AF lenses)

Thanks

Should be no problem (if it is AF!).

All A-mount lenses (though the 1-3x macro might not be 100%).

The manual focus 135 f/2.8 [T4.5] STF will work as well.

The correct designation is "A-mount".
